The reports said the accident happened on El-rufai‘s way to Kano state, others said it happened on his return from Kano state.

However, reacting to the news, the Kaduna state governor described the reports as fake news and described the news as “bigotry-driven” propagated by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The governor thanked them for reducing the days in their lives and adding them to mine.

In a post on his official Facebook page, El-Rufai vowed to remain PDP’s permanent nightmare.

He wrote: “UPDATE: I woke up after a rare 8-hour bout of deep sleep to learn that some bigotry-driven, PDP-affiliated fake news platform has declared my driver dead and my humble self in coma. Both claims are false.

“I thank them for reducing the days in their lives and adding them to mine. I remain their permanent nightmare and not about to disappear from their wretched and corrupt lives any time soon by the Grace of Almighty Allah, until they are permanently retired and buried. – Nasir @elrufai.”
